This remarkable Art Deco vase, designed by the legendary René Lalique and crafted in France circa 1935, is a stunning example of his innovative artistry and mastery of glassmaking. The combination of frosted and transparent glass highlights the intricate detailing and sophisticated contrast that have become hallmarks of Lalique's work during the golden age of Art Deco. Rendered in a stunning and rare smoked cerulean hued glass, this rare and alluring piece is breathtaking in scale and material presence.

The design features a perfect balance of geometric and organic motifs, reflecting the streamlined elegance of the period. The body of the vase is achieved in stunning dimensionality, with a latticework of crosshatched transparent glass, shimmering beautiful in contrast with the frosted sections of the vase. From within the diamond shaped sections created by this latticework receded into abstracted fluted geometric diamonds, reminiscent of blooming flowers or kaleidoscopic motifs. The recessed frosted patterning lends an ethereal quality, delicately textured and expertly molded, while the transparent glass portions provide contrast and depth, enhancing the overall aesthetic. The interplay of textures gives the bowl a dynamic visual appeal rendered with incredible precision and attention to detail.

This vase is not only functional but also serves as a sculptural statement piece, perfect for gracing dining tables, cocktail tables, pedestals, or display spaces. Its refined elegance complements Art Deco, Modern Classic, or Transitional interiors effortlessly. Signed "Lalique", on the latticework near the mouth of the vase the piece carries the mark of authenticity, signifying its creation in the eminent Lalique workshops. René Lalique's work during the 1930s epitomized luxury and innovation, making his pieces highly sought after by collectors and appreciators of fine design. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
